"Christmas is a time to share with friends and family and to give and receive."- Laura-Beth Skene.
"Christmas is being grateful for what you have."- Holly Vincent.
"Christmas means caring for others and giving not getting." - Scarlette London.
"Spending time with my family and friends and singing Christmas carols." - Cooper O'Neill.
"Christmas means to me about friendship and love." - Kade Squires.
"In my opinion, Christmas is about giving and spending time with family. I love doing all the little traditions that we do every year. I love seeing people's reactions when they open their gifts. But what it really means to me is that I get to see family that I don't often see. That's what Christmas means to me. - Evie Carolan.
"Christmas to me means getting together with the family. It obviously means getting to eat mum's extremely amazing cooking. Christmas means having fun and even getting dessert. Sadly my Christmas means getting coal. I love watching my baby cousins faces when you pull out a present for them. That's what Christmas means to me." - Zayden Jenkins.
